Underscarves & Undercaps

Our underscarves and undercaps are the quiet base layer that makes every hijab sit better. Each soft modal undercap covers the hairline, keeps hair neatly tucked away and gives slippery fabrics like satin and chiffon something to hold on to. They come in a wide range of shades, from white, sand and black to mauve, deep green and wine red, so you can match your hijab or choose a subtle contrast.

Want it done for you? Browse hijabs with matching undercap, and add hijab magnets for a pin-free finish.

Underscarves and undercaps

The base that makes every hijab work: tube underscarves, tie-back caps, satin-lined caps and full-coverage bonnets. They keep hair in place, add opacity and give the outer scarf grip.

Choose

Tube for daily wear, tie-back for adjustability, satin-lined to protect hair, full-coverage for sheer chiffon hijabs. Finish with hijab magnets; shop hijabs by fabric in hijabs.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an undercap with every hijab?
Not with jersey or modal, which grip on their own; chiffon, satin and silk need one.
What is a satin-lined undercap for?
The satin lining reduces friction and breakage on hair and stops frizz — worn the same way as a plain undercap.
